Chapter Ninety-Seven: Money Is Insufficient
The people here are still happily celebrating the New Year, and she knows that if the northern disaster reaches the capital, it will surely cause panic.
He immediately ordered, "Xiao Lu went to the Baiyutang Restaurant to spread the word and told them that from today onwards, the customers who come from the Baiyutang Restaurant will all be 50% off. ”
"All the customers who come, no matter what their status, no matter what kind of food they order, will be 50% off, saying that they are doing good deeds for the victims of the disaster in the north."
"Also, there is a rumor right now that Bai Yutang has produced a batch of new objects."
"Sort out all the handbags, earrings, earrings, bracelets that are in stock and not yet available."
"Let everybody, bring the album and sell it."
"Go to the house of all the customers who have registered and purchased Bai Yutang. Let's just say that we now have a 20% discount in Baiyutang, as long as they are willing to buy, they can buy these jewelry at a 20% discount on the basis of the original price. \"
"The more the merrier, if you buy more than five pieces, you can get a 7% discount."
"Now we must use all the methods and turn them into a large sum of silver, and go to Baiyutang to order a little food, and then go to Jingzhong to buy all the cotton clothes, cotton pants, cotton, and food."
"The most indispensable thing in winter is charcoal, but the road is far away, and it will be more time-consuming and labor-intensive to buy it here and transport it over, so let them count the silver."
"Lin Jin, Lin Yin, Lin Qian, Lin Cai, the four of them are waiting for me in Baiyutang. Let's get over it. ”
Xia Tingting analyzed in an orderly manner, several little maids all agreed to come down, and they went to work, Xia Qingqing also walked into the back room quickly and changed into men's clothes.
She usually goes to Baiyutang, if it doesn't matter, she is naturally dressed in men's clothes, which is more convenient.
Xiao Lu was worried, and said to the county lord, "Are you going to Baiyutang now?" ”
Xia Qingqing said firmly, "Yes, I have to go now, and I can't delay for a moment." ”
The two of them simply cleaned up and ran to Bai Yutang.
Lin Jin and the four of them were sitting together, admiring the moon and eating hot pot, so comfortable.
I drank a little bit of newly baked white jade drunk, this is the new wine of Bai Yutang.
This wine is fragrant and soft, not spicy in the mouth, and has a long aftertaste, many customers love it very much, and several of them also like it, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, they drink wine and enjoy the moon
Chatting about life, thinking about what to do in the future, and seeing if there is a better way to run Bai Yutang well.
Xiao Lu, who came here with Xia Qingqing's letter at this time, said in a panic, "Don't drink it, you guys, Lin Cai was the first to react." ”
He stood up and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Lu quickly said to him, what happened in the capital, and Xia Qingqing's thoughts.
Lin Cai thought for a while, and instructed Lin Jin and Lin Yin, "You two, go to the restaurant and arrange the things ordered by the county lord." ”
"Lin Qian, you go and count the money and food in stock."
"I'll send someone to the surrounding areas of the capital to buy a batch of cotton clothes first."
A few people were about to split up, and as soon as they walked to the door of the restaurant, Xia Qingqing came with Xiaolan on a fast horse, turned over and dismounted, and said.
"Wait, don't go yet."
Lin Cai looked at her dressed in men's clothes, came in the night, and exclaimed, "County Lord, why did you come in person?" ”
"If there's anything, just tell us to do it."
"It's hard at night, go back quickly."
"There's such a big thing in the capital, can I still sit still?"
Xia Qingqing walked into Bai Yutang quickly, Lin Cai was behind her, and said word by word, what she had just ordered.
"Well done," Xia Qingqing said approvingly, "You don't want to go to purchase these cotton clothes yourself, and tell a subordinate who needs to use them, that is." ”
"I have other things to tell you to do."
"Okay, lord of the county, then you wait, I will order someone to go down and do it."
"Okay, there you go!"
Not long after, Lin Cai took Lin Qian and returned to the lobby of Baiyutang, where all the shopkeepers were standing in the hall, and Xia Qingqing was talking.
"There has been a disaster in the north, and my grandfather has already gone to the rescue with his generals, and we, as the people of the Qixia Dynasty, should stand up at this time."
"Is there anyone willing to go with me to the north for disaster relief?"
"I, willing."
"I would too."
"I'm willing to follow the county lord."
"I'll go, I'll go."
"County Lord, me."
Xia Qingqing is mobilizing.
Lin Cai objected at this time, "The county lord can't, since you said that the north is a serious disaster area, how can you go there in person?" ”
Only then did everyone react and stopped one after another, "Yes, county lord, you can't go." ”
"yes, you can't."
"You can't go."
Xia Qingqing looked at everyone, didn't take a stubble, but said, "How is it?" Is it out? ”
Lin Cai said, "It's counted." ”
Xia Xingxing turned his head and said to everyone in the hall, "Since you are willing to go, go to the tent now, and one person will go back to settle down with ten taels of silver, pack your bags, listen to my orders, and let's go." ”
The shopkeepers in the hall agreed one after another and began to act.
Xia Qingqing took Lin Cai and Lin Qian to the private room on the second floor, and as soon as they entered the room, Lin Qian couldn't wait to say, "The county lord can't!" ”
"You must not go in person," Xia Qingqing rubbed his aching head and said, "It's all this time, is there any need for me to hide?" \"
"Besides, grandfather is gone."
Lin Cai took a step forward, "It's because King Jing has gone." ”
"County Lord, you can't leave the capital at this time, don't say anything else, in this capital, there must be someone in charge, if there is no backbone in this big rear, what can we do?"
Xia Qingqing snorted and laughed angrily, "You know that I am the backbone of the heart at this time, and I haven't seen you on weekdays, so I have bothered me with something." ”
"It can be seen that you are doing a really good job, don't worry about my safety, just talk nonsense at this time."
"Come on, let's distribute the things in front of us first, and after all the supplies are ready. Naturally, it is necessary to arrange for people to be transported to the disaster area one after another. ”
Lin Qian spoke strongly at this time and said, "Master, I have already ordered, and we still have 200,000 taels of silver tickets in our account." ”
"Except for the 100,000 taels of silver tickets, which are the daily expenses for maintaining Bai Yutang, these 200,000 taels are what you can allocate right now."
Xia Qingqing asked, "Only 200,000 taels?" ”
Lin Qian smiled bitterly and said, "In order to build a branch in Xuzhou, we have already taken out 500,000 taels, plus in order to hoard goods and the daily expenses of these students, we have already spent more than 100,000 yuan." ”
"These are not counted, and the group of orphans on the outskirts of the city, you go over to visit from time to time, and send many people to take care of their daily life, which is a lot of money."
"All in all, there is indeed not much left, our Bai Yutang seems to be extremely profitable, but in fact, there are a lot of places to spend money."
Xia Qingqing said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, but there are times when my pocket is cleaner than my face." ”
She said quickly, and Lin Cai agreed to the disposal of these jewelry and handbags.
"Regarding our early problems, they were also launched on time, and now we can earn more money if we can earn a sum of silver."
"If someone is willing to donate more than 10,000 taels of silver, they can become our VIP customers, and they will enjoy a 20% discount like the previous valued customers in the future."
Xia Qingqing was arranging things intensively.
The third prince was even more restless in the mansion, and immediately convened everyone to discuss, Hua Yan said, "Master, now that the emperor has not expressed his position, we should not be in a hurry." ”
The third prince said to the emperor hatefully, "I see that the emperor is already indulging in pleasure, and for such a big event, I am a little flustered in the main hall,"
"I don't know what he's thinking!"
"Master be careful, the wall has ears, although it is in our mansion, but these words should not be said by you," the third prince angrily slammed his fist on the table.
"Now that the old prince has led the troops out of the city, it depends on the emperor, what he thinks about the follow-up, if the disaster is really serious, it is necessary to send officials to suppress the disaster, this is a good time for us to show our face."
"Why don't you go and meet the Holy Lord, and say that you are willing to allocate 30,000 taels of silver from the treasurer, and allocate the money before the court discusses the way to provide disaster relief. It has been used to help the suffering people. ”
"I believe that when the emperor hears this, it will definitely be a big change for you, after all, we are a prince who does nothing, and there is a quota for every year, even if there is a fief, it is a drop in the bucket to pay us a tribute."
When the third prince heard this, he felt justified, "You go on." ”
"Master, the eldest prince and the second prince are also restless in the mansion at this time, after all, no one has been to the north."
"If you do this well, you will definitely fight for face in front of the emperor, but if you don't do it well, I don't know how many people will ridicule you behind your back."
"This matter is a hot potato for the two of them, and now they are thinking about how to push it out? Let's take this opportunity to preempt the two of them, you will enter the palace, no matter what the emperor says, you should come down first. ”
"It doesn't matter if it's to pray for your birth mother who died young, or to thank God for injustice. Asking yourself to be willing to go to these victims first, it can be regarded as the importance of the imperial court to this disaster, after all, the identity of the prince is not arbitrarily comparable. ”
The third prince nodded.
"I see."
"Right now, how much silver do we have in our house that can be allocated?"
"This disaster is urgent."
Hua Yan responded and said, "Your Majesty, you must be worried about this matter in your heart at this time. ”
